Off The Record

Just two little nuggets for your inquiring minds today, but both are sure bets.

So, you say you find yourself having too much time on your hands and need to know every single little thing that happens in the world of the PlayStation 2, Sony, and the game makers supporting them? You say you need to have all of the rumors so you can jump to the boards and post the latest news before all of your buddies?

Well, now you've done it. You've located the rumor nerve center at IGNPS2, Off the Record. We know what's happening in the industry before the deals are signed, before the press releases have been written, before you wake your sleepy ass up in the morning. Yes, we have heard it, but at least we admit it. We've got big ears and we know rumors, probably about you, too (and your mom), so just clam up and read. And remember, this is all on the QT, hush-hush, and very Off The Record.

SSX Mountain Biking OK, it's true we just made up this name, but you should expect BIG things from the team that designed and developed SSX and SSX Tricky. In case you haven't been keeping up with the Joneses, EA is working on a rather large, well, a really BIG project, and this one is being designed by the Canadian team that created the SSX series. The focus? The sport? Mountain Biking. Yes, the sport once unsuccessful attempt by Namco in the arcades (Downhill Bikers) and attempted by CodeMasters on PlayStation (No Fear Downhill Mountain Bike Racing), is set to get the BIG treatment in 2002. We have no major details to date, but expect to hear from us shortly.

Clock Tower 3 Although we can't say too much about it just yet, we'll say this, a big Japanese developer and publisher has decided to continue the Clock Tower series with Clock Tower 3, and soon, very soon, we'll be hearing more about it. Let's just say that it's coming from a resident developer that likes to make evil sequels. Get it?

That's all for now, just remember that we love rumors, and if you hear any really good ones, we'll post them. Sent them to Off The Record.
